Ukraine is
ready to launch a counter-offensive to recover parts of its territory invaded
by Russia following months of planning, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii
Reznikov said Friday.
“Preparations
are coming to an end,” Reznikov told reporters in Kyiv, according to French
newswire AFP.
“Equipment
has been promised, prepared and partially delivered. In a global sense, we’re
ready,” he added.
Kyiv has
been preparing a major counteroffensive against Russian forces in the spring
for months, pressing its Western allies to deliver ammunition and weapons to
that effect.
Although
the details of the offensive remain unclear, it is likely to take place as
early as mid-May or early June.
Earlier on
Friday, Russia launched 23 missiles targeting several Ukrainian cities, killing
multiple people in the first massive air attack launched by Moscow in weeks.
